The issue is that, it's not scaled for end game, when it's just a small percentage difference in attack potency (for Emerald vs Garuda) and also in terms of tank enmity (Topaz vs Ifrit). This causes issues with other players who could voice annoyance. Also in end-game dungeons, its assumed that you would go in as a job instead of class (SMN/SCH instead of ACN). You might then argue, since difference is small, go ahead and use carbuncles by removing the soul stone. But then there are skills that arcanist don't possess since it's a class and not a job.

My point is, why not have something that keeps carbuncles relevant?
